Joining OpenSea's Flagship Collection... Genesis #40 by @DaCaldera: a piece of Art Blocks history that began before the platform itself. Written in 2017 as its original proof of concept, Genesis reached collectors on launch day in November 2020. More below 👇

512 seemed like a lot at the time… now it feels like way too few.

Genesis #284 // @DaCaldera Genesis was one of the first Art Blocks projects, alongside Chromie Squiggles and Construction Token (November 2020). Daniel Calderon Arenas's system reads a block hash and turns it into grids, gradients, lines and shapes. 512 works.

Genesis is really simple, just some shapes and some colors. But the variation is infinite. The proof-of-concept project for Art Blocks

Art Blocks Lore 📖 We began testing our proof-of-concept Genesis Project as early as May 2018. Genesis was proof that onchain art could be algorithmically sophisticated and visually compelling, while benefiting from the blockchain's distinct advantages of immutability and provable uniqueness. Genesis used blockchain hash data to create original iterations of art, specific to both the transacting wallet and the moment in time the user transacted.  Genesis by @DaCaldera, one of the first three fully onchain projects on the new Art Blocks platform, launched for collectors in November 2020.

When I look at Yayoi Kusama's paintings, I see a purely algorithmic mind at work. Mathematical, repeatable, and precise, yet with an incredibly warm human touch. Anyways, Happy birthday to her, today she turns 97!
